"BOING" (that's the sound of Spring!!)

As you know, I have been gardening this week, making the most of the warm weather and thinking, "Spring's early this year".  Anyway, as I had to go into town this morning, I popped into Morrisons as they are really cheap for plants and bulbs.  I wasn't disappointed, and spent £10 . . .


I have decided to have an area of cutting flowers across the bottom of the veg plot - though the site may move when I finish planning it.  As you can see, I didn't just limit my purchases to Morrisons, and was thoroughly Bad, having gone across the road to the extortionately expensive Wyevale "just to look" and get ideas.  I did TRY to keep my hands in my pockets, really!  For a while, I managed just to stick to the 3 pairs of gardening gloves for £6 (one pair of which is for quilting - holding the material when you are free motion quilting).




I will have to get the Lupins planted tomorrow, as they are sprouting, and either have them beneath the Velux windows in my sewing room, or blow the dust off my seed stack and pop them in there (though I think that needs another plastic jacket before I dare use it for seedlings and the like.)  I have quite a long shopping list of things I need for the garden, apart from the obvious ones like more compost and bark chippings, but will just have to get it as and when.

Right, back to hand embroidering the last panel for the Baltimore quilt.  My tiny blanket stitch has even impressed me with its neatness!
